It’s a month today since I received your last letter so hope this one finds you & your mother well. Last week I had a letter from Mrs Shaw dated May 28th & she says she has been notified by the Air Ministry that Midge & his comrades were laid to rest in a cemetery in France. We have not had any word to this effect & we wondered whether you had Doris? Would you please get in touch with Air Ministry & the Red Cross & try & find out if Malcolm was also with Midge? Being right on the spot as it were I think you would get more information that we could. We have written the Dep. of Air here but so far have had no reply. I think it would ease the dreadful pain in my heart a wee bit to know the dear kid was cared for at the last. Mrs Shaw also mentioned the A.M. had sent her a photo – I presume of Midge’s grave. She is very hurt & bitter poor dear & I’m afraid I feel that way myself. When one reads & hears of the political & military squabbling the world over, one

wonders whether the boys’s [sic] sacrifice were after all in vain.
The days are grey & cold now this week the drought broke & never was rain more badly needed. Things were getting very serious. It will be a year this weekend since Keith came home but so far has not any prospects of leave. How are you keeping these days, Doris? Chin up & smiling I hope? Must away now – All our love
